Along with Gregerson, Chandler, and DDT, I saw Metallica last night at Allstate Arena. As expected, it was an awesome, energetic show. Their stage was in the middle of the arena -- in the round, if you will -- so everyone was running all over the place for all sides of the arena to see, except Lars, since it was hard for him to carry his drum set.
They played a great set too, mixing the old with the new. Here is their set list, with album in parentheses after (notice that they didn't play anything post-black album and pre-Death Magnetic):
Main Set
That Was Just Your Life (Death Magnetic)
The End Of The Line (Death Magnetic)
Creeping Death (Ride the Lightning)
Ride The Lightning (Ride the Lightning)
One (. . . And Justice for All)
Broken, Beat And Scarred (Death Magnetic)
Cyanide (Death Magnetic)
Sad But True (Metallica (the black album))
Wherever I May Roam (Metallica (the black album))
All Nightmare Long (Death Magnetic)
The Day That Never Comes (Death Magnetic)
Master of Puppets (Master of Puppets)
Blackened (. . . And Justice for All)
Nothing Else Matters (Metallica (the black album))
Enter Sandman (Metallica (the black album))
Encore
Suicide and Redemption teaser (Death Magnetic)
Last Caress (The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited)
Motorbreath (Kill 'Em All, an album that, as you may recall, has had a profound impact on the life of Greg Weeser*)
Seek And Destroy (Kill 'Em All)
Here are some pictures taking with my extremely awesome camera phone:
After the lights went down right before Metallica came on.
Frickin' giant coffins shoot frickin' laser beams.
Here are a couple other random shots of the stage and crowd
No large-scale metal show would be complete without fire. Watch out James! Too soon? 
During "Seek & Destroy" (the last song of the night), a bunch of giant black Metallica beach balls were dropped into the crowd, presumably by Satan or some sort of giant master puppeteer.
